Make me broken

Make me brokenSo I can be healed'Cause I'm so callousedAnd now I can't feelI want to run to YouWith heart wide openMake me brokenMake me emptySo I can be filled'Cause I'm still holdingOnto my willAnd I'm completedWhen you are with meMake me empty[Chorus:]'Til You are my one desire'Til You are my one true love'Til You are my breath, my everythingLord, please keep making meMake me lonelySo I can be Yours'Til I want no oneMore than You, Lord'Cause in the darknessI know You will hold meMake me lonely

-- Sidewalk ProphetsWill you continue to let Jesus break you and remake you for His glory?

Job 5:17-18 Blessed is the man whom God corrects, so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. For he wounds, but he also binds up, he injures, but his hands alo heal.

2 years ago, when I went to Peru I felt that my spiritual life was complacent. I went to Peru praying that God would break my heart for what breaks is and show me a real Him. In Peru I was challenged by a faith I never knew and by pain and suffering I never realized. I can't say that my life has gotten any easier, but I can praise God because my walk is not complacent. I know that I'm not ok with God and I'm not on the fence. Instead I'm crying out loud, living on Christ's bread, and being filled by God's glory and grace. Truly surrendering everything is a sacrifice but it's something you will never ever regret. Have the courage to ask God again to keep making you- to keep breaking you- and to keep recreating you for His glory. He will give you a new heart; He will take out your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh (and feeling) (Ezekiel 36:26)

Lord have mercy upon me for I sin against you every single day. I praise you for your love that never changes. I ask that you take my heart and break it for whatever breaks yours. Make me caring and gentle for your glory. I surrender everything to you.

About Me

My name is Brooke and I attend Southern Adventist University. I am crazy about swimming whether it be lifeguarding, surfing, wakeboarding, kayaking, or whitewater rafting. I love volleyball, softball, and baseball. I juggle up to 5 balls, 3 knives, and 3 torches. Summer Camp is where I found Christ and my favorite place in the world. I want to travel the world. I've been to Honduras, Dominican Republic, Mexico, the Carribean, Korea, and Peru. I would like to go to Australia, Africa, and Europe.
